[quote=Anonymous]I'm a minority, my DH is white. My kids are half Hispanic/ white. My life has been pretty good but there have 
been some hurtful/painful times  due to people's ignorance and insensitivity.  In general, I feel that Whites have a good thing going and due to their historical economic power, will be at the forefront of major political/economic/social power for a long time. That said, as I read this post, I realize that I'm grateful to have been born into this "minority" group. For one, I've experiences life in a way that I would never carry OPs fears and frankly ignorance. If whites just focuse on being respectful, fair, non judgmental, toward minorities...the world would be a better place and the OPs in the world wouldn't have so much to fear. A minority child doesn't dislike whites, however they may end up experiencing such hate, stupidity, ignorance that it causes them to distrust. So prepare your child OP by educating yourself first. Teach yourself, open your heart and mind to others that don't look exactly like you. Realize we are all human beings with the same capacity for good. I want the same things for my kids as you want for yours and I dont want to do to you what you may have done to me. [/quote]
